Sure, we can > just assume/pretend that helgrind is buggy and osg is bugfree. ;-) 3rd party debugging tools aren't infaluable. The can and do produce false positives. They can and do also miss real problems. How much we can rely upon valgraind/helgrind is not something I can vouch for as this is the first time I'm attempted to use tool=helgrind. If we get a one to one mapping between a crash site and the helgrind warnings then we have something very tangible to go on. Right now I have an osgparticleeffects and osgviewer that doesn't crash, but have a valgraind/helgrind suggesting errors, but it's rather unclear on how to interpret those errors. We don't have this one to one mapping.
